** There's some subtle FridgeBrilliance here: the protagonists are all appliances that are timeless and have aged well (for example, a toaster is still perfectly useful as a toaster, no matter the time period). The "Cutting Edge" appliances, by contrast, are meant to represent the folly of consumerism, and will likely be rejected in favor of newer models much sooner than the protagonists.

* WritersCannotDoMath: In the 2nd movie, Wittgenstein said he was down there for 4,999,450,852,312 nanoseconds, or "since that awful day when transistors were invented." The thing is, the number he gives is only about 83 minutes, and considering that the internet's already invented, this really makes the gap between the two dates really doesn't feel like only an hour.
